Alion Science picked up a three-year deal worth $6.3 million from the Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA) to find potential improvement points for shock and environmental test procedures for Navy surface ship and submarine field organizations.
The firm will evaluate and review prototype designs, plans and procedures from equipment manufacturers. Engineers will also offer technical assistance for submarine weapon launchers and payloads.
“Alion’s work will help the Navy ensure the proper tests are performed the first time around and that the results of those tests satisfy the Navy’s needs, ” said JJ Waickwicz, Alion Design, Engineering and Technology Group manager. “With our years of shipboard experience and in-depth knowledge of military environmental testing standards, Alion will act as a trusted source to help ensure the review and testing process is both thorough and cost-effective.”
